I guess I’ll contribute since no one else is. I’m trying to get into old school, but I wish I had some utks with thick lace and chunky shoes with this coord. I still thought it was cute though, so if anyone feels like drawing me I’d appreciate it!

>>9797261Hi I’m the anon who posted this coord>>9797159 I saw your coord on the cof thread and fell in love with it, so when I saw it here I had to draw it! You look so lovely, I hope the art does it justice!

>>9798547>>9798548>>9798519For the love of fucking god can we PLEASE get some mods in this thread so it doesn't get shit-canned to oblivion like the last one? This is the third draw thread we've had that's been infested with Mean Girls(tm) and it's getting really tiresome.

>>9798677Unfortunately people bitching about outfits has always been a part of these threads. Honestly some are pretty bad and I'm not sure why people think they should post here, of all places, with subpar coords. If you don't want to do anything with your face/hair, at least put a sticker over it, and always be prepared for crit if you're self posting on /cgl/

I wasn't feeling well that day and I ended up going home without any outfit shots, a friend took this candid but that's all I got of it. The wig and makeup are the same / very similar to the photos on the right from another day! (the blouse is also the same, you can sort of almost see it, but it's just a plain peter pan collar button down).

I know it's not a lot to work with though, if anyone feels like it I'd be very appreciative!

>>9799935I was arguing against it being a mockery , anon. Like nobody would put time into a cute drawing and then try to annoy someone with the ears is what I'm saying, I understand that that's her style.

I appreciate that you're aware she's not trying to mock anyone's features with her art style, since she's clearly not, but it's just how she's used to drawing from what she said earlier. It's not your coord being drawn anyway so I don't feel there's any reason for you to feel so bothered by it.

>>9801020I think you're still misreading >>9799961. They're not being very clear, so I'll restate it.Anon was saying that >>9799685 clearly wasn't intended to offend the anon who was drawn and isn't offensive because someone who was just doing it to offend the person probably wouldn't have put in so much effort. Please stop arguing with each other now, or exchange contact information if you'd like to continue arguing, in private.

Artists, where do I find cute egl girls who want commissions of themselves wearing their coords?I love drawing frilly lolita dresses but I never get commissioned to draw them and I have so little time to draw what I want these days.

Twitter/Instagram/Facebook are @RedBardIsCool (I respond fastest on Twitter). Commission info is on my Twitter.I like drawing cute, fluffy dresses and I need money for Anime Boston and PAX East since they're coming up, so I'd greatly appreciate it if you let me draw your coord <3

>>9803810Thank you so much, anon, this is really cute!>>9804155Ah, I love how soft it looks and the way you drew the face.>>9804231Thank you! This is adorable>>9804527Not me obviously, but this is a super cool style! I'd love to be able to draw like you.

>>9804876work on your anatomy (particularly hands, feet, and whatever is going on with her collarbones), draw her some cute lingerie, actually look at a lolita dress for inspiration instead of creating a lurid generic 'kawaii bunny print', tone your fucking colors down. also please make her hair interchangeable so it doesn't have to be pepto-bismol-90s-anime-waifu-pink all the time, pic related.

>>98048181. This is a blue board. Your post violates the rules.2. I hope you didn't charge more than $5 for this.3.>>9804835 This is also against the rules. If someone asks you for a commission you are welcome to provide contact info, but advertising of any sort is against golbal rules.

>>9804818GET OUT with your shitty art and your disdain for this community. If you can't even be arsed to learn our rules, we don't want you here. Also "pretending to be an ita" just makes you look stupid.

>>9804984It's usually not this milky, we just happened to have a cow show up.

For future reference to anyone who might want to post in this thread, it's against 4chan's global rules to advertise yourself. If you want to commission someone or be commissioned, you need to discuss that elsewhere. This is why it's good for artists to put their signature; then you can go find them on twitter/tumblr/da. Also, don't post here unless you're prepared for crit, no matter how harsh. Acting like a whiny pissbaby when someone criticizes your coord or art skills is a good way to make enemies; if you just let it go and accept things gracefully, 9 times out of 10 the drama will stop. By acting like moo moo over here, you fuck yourself over.

>>9806495No worries anon, drama happens all the time.I never really understood the 'omg we got off topic one time now let's wait for the next thread' Like, that girl that posted her coordinate and deleted yesterday, I would have drawn her if I didn't have to now dig through a broken archive to find it.

>>9807881So op of that paper doll here (aka cow) I can actually admit that I haven't been back here since ppl started posting my cringe stuff and I shouldn't have to defend myself or anything but I can say that I am sorry for stirring shit and I should have taken crits better but I also think y'all take crits to the next level. My shitty doodle chibis aren't meant to be wonderful, I get commissioned for cringe art and I actually enjoy working with bright, psychedelic colors because I'm trying to find my own style. I didn't know the rules proper and I'm lurking to learn now. So pls for the love of God drop it and draw cuz we're all here to draw and get practice in. Like i get it we're all shit heads w/e, no one should care at this point bc I don't

>>9809371like we don't see through your transparent attempts to be like 'lol the fact that everyone thinks i'm a trashy degenerate whore with no talent doesn't bother me at aLL! look at how attractive desperate 1/10 neckbeards think i am!'if you weren't butthurt in the first place you never would have come back. you would have just been like 'idgaf what strangers on the internet think' and departed free from sin instead of trying to prove to us how little you care and making a total fool of yourself in the process.tl;dr, because your typing style reveals yourself to be an illiterate and also possibly retarded: learn to love urself~

The outfit itself is meh. There really isnt anything wrong with it but it reminds me more of the alt western scene than jfashion. More like dollskill/tumblr style.

Your hair color is really cute but girrrrrl those glitter roots. I've never been a fan of glitter roots myself because it looks like dandruff. But that isnt even the problem here. They are so slick from what I'm assuming is too much hair gel. As another anon pointed out your eyebrows could use a stronger color because they become really lost on your face.

Would love if someone could draw my dolly kei coord I wore recently! I was trying to wear something that wasn’t a dark green or tan and brown like I always wear, but I still think it came out cute and comfy.

Would anyone like to draw this look? To be honest I’m not even sure if it’s jfashion, despite it being an obvious jfash dress and shibori haori. I wear my collection of haori a lot and take inspo from Japanese artfag fashion but idk I’m sorry if it doesn’t fit the thread. Also sorry for the bare toenails.

It would be a fun and different topheavy, straight silhouette for an anon to try drawing if they wanted.

>>9816358it looks like you shoved on whatever was in the back of your closet. The haori looks stupid with the dress, the shoes are dumb, your hair looks like you just rolled out of bed. Stop trying to shoehorn stuff together.

>>9816368Thanks for your opinions and I accept them as valid except for>hairwat? It’s not messy or greasy, in fact there’s barely anything to say about it with it being so short. I get saying I need a longer style or a wig but...

>>9816347the sandals just look random and cheap, get better shoes and some legwear. the middle of your outfit is very bright and a lot going on, i would prefer to see something on your head as well. maybe an elegant updo and some flower pins?

>>9816964Even when it’s at it’s normal length, my hair is too short for anything but an ugly baby banana-like ponytail. I don’t think a nice looking updo is possible. But I’ll look for a tree peony kanzashi-like clip as an alternative.

>legwearAgain this is so vague and I’d really like to know what anons picture in their minds when they say this, because I can’t see it. Sheer white? Sheer pink? I’d look like a monochromatic blob I feel.

>>9817082Not that anon but I think your dark roots are showing right where your temples are. I think that it would look much better if you styled it a little more and got it properly fit on your head. Also, not sure if you're wearing one, but get a wig cap in a light color for this wig

>>9817440Thank you for actually being helpful. I have some casual light-colored geta that would match but I wonder if that’d be too weeby. I didnt know they existed but I searched and there is such a thing as long tabi, which is awesome - maybe they exist in lighter fabric and I can wear them with geta? If not I’ll find some other shoes. I used the brown wedges initially because I’m picky about light coords being topped with dark hair but it seems that’s not an issue with most people so I shouldn’t care as much. This was supposed to be a more normie-friendly casual outfit but thats gonna change with these additions. Oh well lol.

>>9817457Oh shut the fuck up and post your own casual coord if you’re gonna shit up the thread with your try-hard jab.

The reason anons are saying legwear is because the balance is off. This thing looks like a heat trap because there’s so much fabric, the haori looks thick and the dress is high-necked. So the viewer thinks the weather is probably cold and you need all that fabric. But then bare legs with sandals, and now everyone is just confused and annoyed. Is it cold or not? Even if you dressed like this solely for insta at least make it a believable fantasy. If you’re going to cosplay drowning in a fabric tent, at least be consistent and choose an ankle-length dress. If it’s cold, at least be consistent and show it by wearing thick socks. If it’s actually so warm that you’re wearing sandals, match it with a skimpier dress and a summer haori, not some winter jacket.

imo, what you really suffer from is putting things together thoughtlessly. What was the image you wanted to convey (other than “let’s mush a haori on top of casual lolita with fug non-jfash sandals, these are three things cgl argues over so I’m sure they will love me”). Is it warm, is it cold? Are you dainty and drowning? Are you sexy and skimpy? What silhoutte are you going for, is it one that works or is it fugly? If you were going for East meets West, how do fugly weird sandals work with traditional East and traditional West? If you were going for East meets modern, how does a frumpy petticoatless fussy lolita dress work with spartan modern sandals?

Go in with one concept you want to convey and actually design your outfit instead of throwing on random things. Then look over your outfits with a critical eye and see if it clearly states your vision. Don't just look in the mirror and go "my hair is nice today, I'm cute so my outfit must be too". No, no it isn't. Your outfit is only three items and still should have been aborted the instant you combined any of the two items together.

>>9817527I mean...the dress (which is not lolita at all - it's sticking to the inside of the haori in that picture so it looks like it could be a lolita silhouette, but it wouldn't take a petti) is chiffon so I don't think it looks like part of a heat trap nor does it feel like one. The haori is silk with wide open sleeves and not for winter weather. Breezy, yes. Pictures must not convey any of this.

I don't think about "concepts" with such casual go-to-class outfits. Props to you for doing so, but I don't. I'll take it into account when I upgrade this to a proper coord, though.I didn't throw things on randomly. I picked the chiffon dress because I thought a difference in fabrics would make a neat juxtaposition, same with the bare legs. I know now to get legwear and different shoes but I'm keeping the silhouette.

lol anon, if your ego is so delicate, maybe keep quiet and don't pretend you wanted any con crit in the first place.

I don't know you. I don't know your wardrobe, and you never stated what you wore it for. If it's not a good outfit, why would you bother requesting someone spend their free time drawing a shitty sloppy outfit? Who's projecting? You who expect me to know all your shitty excuses ahead of making my comment, or me who told you directly "you look confused, like you just schlepped stuff together. Next time spend more time thinking about your outfit".

I'm not the anon who posted the first "yikes". I'm also not the other two anons, one of which also said you looked like you just shoved random things on from your closet. I just saw your photo in passing and it looked like you wanted someone to point out where you were failing. I stepped in and gave you your answer.

You can either take that answer and use it, or make a shitton of excuses and continue being a delicate snowflake.

>>9816376I think anon was implying that you didn't do anything at all styling wise to your hair. It literally looks like you got up and walked out the door.

also unrelated nitpick but

>wearing street shoes in a dance studio

Get out

Aside from that, the dress looks so sad and pathetic under that haori. There's no shape to the dress at all, so you look like you just threw on an oversized shawl and your mom's shoes, like a kid playing dressup. Plus the dress itself doesn't fit with the haori, it's so plain and an awkward length. You need a better petti, you need shoes that aren't disgusting, and you need to do something with your hair or get a wig and style that. You are also wearing zero accessories so this there isn't anything at all to distract from the rest of what's wrong. It's very boring.

>>9817686Also for legwear there are literally so many options, but a subtle floral print or even some sheer tights with a design on them or lace tights would do fine to add interest without being a huge distraction. I'd say even a pair of plain colored OTKs with geta if you want to make it more cohesive, have it match the pink color from the inside of the haori / the neck bow.

>>9817686Again, it was a casual outfit for wearing to class that I happen to like a lot, there is no petti or accessories for that purpose, it stands out among classmates enough as it is.

I really do appreciate everyone’s opinions no matter how harsh but I don’t think anons are reading what I’m saying...

>dance studio It’s kind of a multipurpose room on campus in the student union, everyone wears their street shoes. Except the dancers who aren’t in their official dance rooms in the dance building anyways.

>>9817695Thing is, even for casual, it's not a good outfit. It doesn't have the requirements at all to be lolita or even really jfash. You look straight up like a white girl that bought a haori at some swap meet and decided to wear it with whatever you had laying around. Posting it here was your second mistake after wearing it, because it's not even really jfash to begin with, which makes it board irrelevant. But even for a normie outfit, it isn't good.

>>9817700Another drawanon here sick of these threads getting filled with unnecessary crit. If you're not replying thank you to art, complimenting art, or posting art yourself, you shouldn't be posting on here. Would anybody else be interested in just doing art trades?

>>9817906Im just about to start and art insta so I don’t have any names or links yet unfortunately. Enjoy!

>>9817741To be fair I asked for crit, but that was after the first shot was fired. But yeah this thread didn’t need the extra peanut gallery who is salty from being nitpicked >>9817457 and egoanon getting buttmad that I’m not 100% receptive to 100% of their snarky crit >>9817738

What's with all those animals here? just barking and whining and being edgy. I thought draw threads were for selfposters and artists, not for sad and grumpy animals with too much free time on their hands.Oh well, I hope those tryhard shitposters don't scare selfposters out, I want to draw some cute coords.

We are here, gathered together in what is normally the best thread on /cgl/ depending on the week. We had three people in a row post ita outfits asking for concrit, yes, they were ita, no excuses, and before that we had a cow milking competition. I expect nothing less from you in the coming posts before sage. >>9817700Thank you for your art, please don't be discouraged from drawing or posting but oh my god please get a life and stop defending yourself on the internet. >>9818027Do you take commissions?

>>9818199I'd be willing to do commissions. As I mentioned before, I'm not all that good at people but I'd be happy to try (I'd also discount it a bit for that reason). Just message me on either my etsy or fb page @Foxandrosecrafts

>>9817457>>9818199Can everyone please stop lumping me in with everyone else? I’m >>9816203 and I didn’t ask for crit (I wouldn’t reject it, but I don’t want it here in the art thread), and I don’t typically nitpick or crit coords. I like looking at the art and getting coord inspo. Regardless, I just wanted to maybe get a picture drawn of my coord, and possibly draw some other people’s coords.

Also, >>9818027 do you have an insta? I would love to follow you on that platform. Your work is absolutely lovely.
